Page: 4/11

Blasting abrasive shall be dry, clean. The size and type of abrasive grits shall give the angular profile and standard cleanliness specified in the applicable specification. Copper slag, steel shots / steel grits mix shall be used for blasting of carbon steel surfaces only (Copper slag may be acceptable provided it does not leave copper slag particles imbedded in the blast surface) Abrasive shall contain not more than 50 ppm total soluble salts by weight, the type and graded size adequate to give uniform, angular surface profile (anchor pattern) of 35-75 microns average, with blast rough peak not exceeding 100 micron unless otherwise noted in coating systems. Galvanized surface when required coating surface shall be detergent washed and then etched with wash primer or equivalent specialist product as supplied by the paint manufacturer. Power wire brushing may be used on old surfaces to remove zinc salt, provide it does not result to a burnished surface The surface preparation of stainless steel shall be carried out by sweep blasting using a fine abrasive not containing iron (e.g. garnet, aluminum oxide...), glass pearls or stainless steel grits. Recycling of spent abrasives such as copper slag, garnet and other non-metallic abrasive blasting grits are not permitted. Steel shots/steel grits mix can be recycled when utilized as blasting media is a closed blasting chamber equipped with facibilities for humidity control, grits recycling and dust extraction. Silicate sand or other mineral with free silica shall not be permitted for blast cleaning Prior to abrasive blasting, all parts of control valves, flanges, tag names, machinery, electrical fixtures etc. that may be exposed to either the blast or the abrasive material, shall be properly protected from the blasting medium. Blast cleaning shall not be conducted when the relative humidity is greater than 85% or as per manufacturer's recommendation. Prior to blast-cleaning, any oil and grease contamination shall be removed by solvent cleaning. All sharp edges, corners, and rat holes shall be rounded by grinding to 2mm radius. Rough weld profiles shall be ground smooth to blend with adjoining welds. Hard layers resulting from flame cutting shall be removed by grinding prior to blast-cleaning. In the event rusting occurs after completion of surface preparation, the surface shall be re-blasted and cleaned. After blasting, all blasting residues and spent grits shall be blown down with compressed air for visual inspection. Any unsatisfactory areas shall be re-blasted. 3.2 POWER TOOL CLEANING The surfaces for which blast cleaning is specified but cannot be so treated because of their location shall be power tool cleaned only after obtaining Company approval. Surface preparation shall be in accordance with SSPC SP-3 or ISO St-3.

Power tool cleaning shall overlap a minimum of 25mm onto adjacent coated surfaces. No acid washes shall be used on metal surfaces after they are blasted. This includes inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting. Welded areas shall be ground and/or blast cleaned to remove rust, residual flux and weld spatters. 3.3 SOLVENT CLEANING Where solvent cleaning is carried out prior to blast cleaning or power tool cleaning to remove oil, grease or other contaminants, it shall be performed in accordance with SSPC SP-1.

Page: 7/11

In a proper state of cure, prior to the application of succeeding coats, Materials shall be considered dry for re-coating when manufacturer's technical representative has accepted the coat and the additional coat can be applied without the development of any detrimental film irregularities, such as lifting or loss of adhesion of the undercoat. The drying times as specified in the manufacturer's data sheets, will be observed at all times. 4.2.6 Re-coating The maximum and minimum re-coating interval specified in the manufacturer's data sheets, will be observed before successive coats are applied. The only exception to this may be after the application of a mist coat where the recommended re-coat interval may be reduced in accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations. Any thin spots or area missed in the application shall be recoated and permitted to dry before the next coat is applied. All areas such as external corners and edges, welds, bolts, nut and interstices (excluding galvanized surface) shall receive a stripe coal prior to application of the specified coat (excluding the inorganic zinc silicate primer) to ensure these areas have at lease the minimum specified film thickness as to ensure continuity of the coating. The stripe coat shall be allowed to become touch dry prior to coating with the specified coat. When successive coats of the same product, the alternate color shall be applied to ensure contrast for complete coating coverage and control of thickness during application, Tinting may be permitted when allowed by the Paint Manufacturer provided the tinting materials are not detrimental to the service performance of the coating. Insitu tinting of the final coat is not permitted. 4.2.7 Masking All nameplates, manufacturer's identification tags, machined surface, finish flange faces, control valves, electric fixtures etc, shall be masked to prevent coating contamination. All field weld margins shall be masks after blasting to leave 50mm un-primed margin. Each layer of coating shall require a further 50mm masked margin prior to over coating to facilitate final touch up of field welds. 4.2.8 Stripe coating of edges, corners, welds, interstices etc. All difficult to reach areas edges, corners, welding seam, interstices areas, etc.(excluding galvanized surface) shall be stripe coated prior to spray coating application of the specified coat (excluding the inorganic zinc silicate primer) to ensure these are have at least the minimum specified thickness as to ensure continuity of the coating. The stripe coat shall be allowed to become touch dry prior to coating with specified coat.
